一首嘲諷現代科技的詩

---
這是T. S. Eliot寫的一首嘲諷現代科技的詩，詩名為"Statistics"「統計」。抄錄於後供大家思考。

Lady, you think too much of speeds,
Pulleys and cranes swing in your mind;
The Woolworth Tower has made you blind
To Egypt and the pyramids.
Too much impressed by motor-cars
You have a false historic sense.
But I, perplexed at God’s expense
Of electricity on stars,
From Brighton pier shall weigh the seas,
And count the sands along the shore
Despise all moderns, thinking more
Of Shakespeare and Praxiteles.
